i feel this sentiment in your pic.

American post rock is 10x better than anything in pic

Good job leaving out all of the 90s American alternative and indie scene fucko.

All the best acid was from the US in the 80s. This is just factual.

Too bad the Americans annihilated everyone in the 00s and this decade too
Brits always love to escape to the 90s where they were still head to head with America

british music is so bad after the 60s because they started sucking eachother off too much

too bad the same american negativity precludes them from acknowledging the truth in this thread

This. I wouldn't even call myself a fan of it, but 90's indie rock scene in America shits all over anything in the OP pic.

yeah everyone is so jealous of your soundcloud rappers lls

>4 chord ditties and muh feels

>no IDM

wew senpai

Germany as always.

Wow the 90s sucked. Also Big Beat the basically the nu metal of electronic music so I'm not sure why you're priding the UK on it.

a lot of mucore from the us dropped in the 90s

What about shit like The Prodigy and Scandinavian metal?

i think the uk did better in the 90s but the usa was more influential in the coming 00s.

What do you mean why so angry? Everything on the left is trash

british post rock is 10x better than american post rock

America because none of the right ever reached the extreme levels of cancer that Britpop attained. It got so bad that by 1996 most of the bands associated with that scene were running away from it as fast as they could.

^This. Fuck the Gallagher brothers.

Pretty sure Britian wins just because they didn't invent nu-metal.

Acid house is American.

>The Prodigy
oldskool rave and/or big beat depending on the album

and disregarded it like techno in a hissy fit of racism and homophobia as quickly as possible

Agreed.

The 90s was just a really bad, regressive decade all around. In the US and UK alike the 80s had such a tension between society seemingly unraveling at the seams while technology and culture were exploding. It resulted in such adventurous art.

Then everything normalized and people retreated back into rock music. If you like Britpop or Grunge, you are the problem here.

I don't think Midwestern truckers were even exposed to either in the first place. Maybe you're piggybacking off of the "disco sucks" popular narrative? Which was overblown in its own right.

The bottom line is 80s black American music > 90s bong shite.

...

this
there are very few interesting new UK bands
most of what they put out today are shitty overproduced pseudo "indie" bands backed by big labels

name 3 good current american bands

Brits do music in general better. There's no need to be upset if you're American though. The USA is definitely the 2nd most prolific producer of amazing music in the world!

its hilarious to see people that weren't old enough in the 90s to actually comprehend reality, and instead form some obscure version of it they've learned through hear-say.

>Then everything normalized and people retreated back into rock music
>there was no rock music in the 80s

>people retreated back into rock music
lol rock was dead, stop flogging a dead horse

The 80s was less rock-centric in popular consciousness than the early 90s.

Best selling single of 1990 was Madonna - Vogue

t. someone that wasn't alive to experience the 80s

What he means is, the slick 80s futurism got replaced by this retrograde 60s-style "back to basics" rock during the grunge era.

>album sales

Yeah you can see how even the biggest-selling rock albums of the 90s like Metallica S/T and Blood Sugar Sex Magik still couldn't touch pop records for volume.

So
> The Verve
> Slowdive
> Radiohead
> Blur
> Aphex Twin
> Ride
> tons of other amazing shit / mucore
Vs. (With 5x the population)
> NWA
> Nivana memes
> Elliott Smith

Reely make u tink

British post-rock is better than any American post-rock and it started in the UK

>muh feels
>it's wrong to write music about emotions
wew

>forgetting canadian post-rock

i like jungle

canadian post rock is good but not as good as british post rock

>>The 90s was just a really bad, regressive decade all around
You don't know what you're talking about. Stop being a millenial 80s fetishist.

>The bottom line is 80s black American music > 90s bong shite.
Chicago house aged like shit. Detroit techno is still gr8 tho.

wasnt nu metal more like the 2000s?

Yeah, this is the american narrative where the only electronic genre to gain dominance was big beat, up until the EDM boom in the late 00's.

In bongistan the genres in the OP pic reigned supreme, the rest of Europe had shit like techno, IDM, trance, with europop dominating the charts instead of derivative rock songs. While the US might have regressed Europe just replaced the cheesy neon futurism of the 80's with a more clinical and mechanical version of it.

Not even a comparison.. American music was utter garbage during that period

Grunge was and still is one of the biggest embarrassments to music, at least gangster rap was honest in it's modus operandi of fucking bitches and getting money

Korn came out with their first album in 1994.

except that all of the electronic music in that pic save for trip hop originated in america

the only thing good on the left is the peep show reference

friendly reminder

>Dance music of the 1990s largely rejected the simple, jovial, hedonistic approach to body movement that had ruled since James Brown invented funk music in the 1960s. Disco, techno and house had simply imported new technologies (both for rhythm and arrangements) into the paradigm of funk. The 1990s continued that process, one of the most important ideas to come out of Britain was jungle or drum & bass, a syncopated, polyrhythmic and frantic variant of house, a fusion of hip-hop and techno that relied on extremely fast drum-machines, epileptic breakbeats and huge bass lines.

>Few genres of popular music underwent so many changes and reached such ambitious heights as jungle did. Within a few years, jungle musicians were already composing abstract and ambient pieces, integrating breakbeats with pop vocals, adopting jazz improvisation Thanks to ever more intricate beats and to free structures borrowed from jazz, jungle music rapidly became the foundation for a new kind of avantgarde music, pursued by the most austere of the genre's visionaries

There's only 2 real genres on the left

When you get down to the gamier, less blue-chip bands of the '90s, the U.K was all like Heavenly and the U.S. like Pavement.

On a broader, cultural scale it always looked like the U.K. had a fun time in the '90s, they enjoyed a tastemaking eminence grise in their waning empire days. Despite the nostalgia the '90s is still a troubled decade in the U.S. and, more than any other preceding decade, an accelerant for the trash fire of the '10s.

The '00s were our U.K. '90s.

it reminds me of that scene in threads where the kids are watching kids tv on a rusty old vhs

>gangster rap
>honest

most of them were lying

#REALG's

>Duran Duran
>Depeche Mode
>New Order/Joy division

Mamma mia!

its more of a 'cultural difference' than just that

epic :^)

>Duran Duran
>Radiohead
>good
pick one and only one faggot

>It's a Europeans appropriate African-American music episode

>not mentioning the american post-hardcore / hardcore / noise rock, indie, slowcore, or post-rock scenes

They forgot about all the black metal in Europe and all the death metal in the US

>microgenres

Canadian post rock is best post rock

>shoegaze and britpop aren't microgenres

They have produced way more albums and have a much wider range of sub subgenres than anything in the OP pic

Oasis is better than every popular american band from the 90s lol Fucking Counting Crows? Soundgarden? Hootie and the Blowfish? Matchbox 20? Fucking shite
